Crisis Within

Crisis Within.

John Hopkins University got in touch requesting a cover and an opener for an upcoming issue of Hopkins Medicine Magazine. The theme was concerned with the body system and how it can become unbalanced. Adult primary immunodeficiencies bring suffering and despair - and too often go undiagnosed.

The concept of balance lead me to using the gyroscope and incorporating it with more general anatomical and cellular imagery in order to communicate the idea. Vivid color was preferred, which led to the palette choice.

Continuing the balance theme from the cover through to the opener, I replaced the gyroscope with a spirit level to indicate some form of resolution.
